What to Expect

Expect to have time away from the daily bustle. With organic, locally sourced dinners and breakfast, the choice of many workshops led by divine women, the experience of women in song, and the healing powers of sacred hot spring waters, you can expect to leave with an open heart, and open mind; refreshed in body and soul.

Arrival is between 10am-1pm on Friday, September 15th.

We ask that you arrive before 2pm to get settled and to be present for our Opening Ceremony, led by our honorary Elders, beginning at 2pm.

Attendance to the Opening Ceremony is very important to us as we would like our whole community there to set intention, gain crucial information on workshops, and to celebrate the magic of gathering through group song. Skill-share sign-ups are right after the Opening Ceremony and are first come first serve as well.

We ask that you stay with us for the remainder of the festival, unless of emergency, so that we can create a container of stillness, without the comings and goings we are so used to in our fast paced world.

Joyful Journey resides at 7,700 ft. and is arid desert-like environment. It gets warm in the day and cool at night and the stars burn with a brightness that takes the breath away. To fully enjoy your festival experience it helps to come prepared so we've made you a list of essentials and other helpful items.
